Katherine and Ted’s love story is one of the sweetest I’d ever heard, and they chose to celebrate at the Zilker Botanical Garden. Katherine found me through WeddingWire and told me that she and Ted both came from 30+ year marriages but had been friends the whole time. She said that they see their marriage as “a second chance at love and happiness,” and that makes my heart melt. In the reception hall, they put their honeymoon road trip on a map for everyone to see how their adventure together would start out. Everyone attending this intimate wedding walked through the gardens with Katherine and Ted to the ceremony spot, and then we all walked back up to the garden’s main building for the reception. It was a beautiful ceremony full of love from close family members and friends.

I met up with Alex and Dewilyn at this amazing coffee shop called Flat Track, to discuss their future wedding. Right off the bat they seemed like such a sweet couple and we hit it off really well. Before their wedding, I photographed Dewilyn for her bridal session at Sekrit Theater. Because I got to know them before their wedding, this wedding was pretty special to me and I felt like I was photographing my own friends. I was super excited to photograph their wedding because it was on the rooftop of the Austin Central Library, which is THE coolest library in Austin. It’s in the heart of downtown right across the street from the river and also has a beautiful walking/biking trail adjacent to it. I loved getting to explore all of these spots with Alex and Dewilyn during their portrait session after their ceremony. Thank you to my pal Nick Meza for grabbing some getting ready shots of Alex!

Chelsea, Nathan, and I got to get to know each other during their engagement session earlier this year, when we got to explore downtown Austin at sunrise. On their wedding day, my second shooter Nick and I arrived at Lone Oak Barn and we were so amazed by what we saw. The number of wonderful vendors that worked to make Chelsea and Nathan’s vision come true was just amazing. Everything was so perfectly put together and arranged, it was hard for me to narrow down what images I would include in this blog post! The ceremony and reception were indoors, but the piece of land Lone Oak Barn is on is also gorgeous. And a special shoutout to the Matchmaker Band, I’ve shot a lot of weddings they’ve performed at and they’re always a crowd favorite!

Christina & Femi had a beautiful spring wedding at Mercury Hall. (And their engagement session can be found here.) They chose to have an indoor ceremony and reception, and I think Mercury Hall is one of the best venues for that. Whenever I’m photographing weddings I always appreciate venues that have well thought out indoor and outdoor spaces for couples to choose from. Christina and Femi had a wonderful ceremony and a full dance floor. Everyone was taking turns being the DJ so the dancing went on all night! They also left the reception in a Maserati, which is pretty badass. Thank you to Megan the Photographer for capturing a few of the getting ready shots!

Christina found me on WeddingWire, wanting me to photograph her wedding in March of this year, but she was living in Dallas at the time. Femi, her then fiance, was deployed at the time, so props to her for doing a lot of the planning AND not doing it in the same city as her vendors! We did this engagement shoot the week of her wedding, when they were both in Austin to start getting ready. We had so much fun in their Air Bnb, and on the boardwalk to get some outdoor shots before the sun set. Their wedding can be found here!

Jennifer and Bryan are such a sweet couple. The day after I graduated from grad school, I met up with them at St. Edward’s Park on a perfect December day. I love St. Edwards Park because there is ALWAYS greenery that’s GREEN! No matter what the season, you can find green spaces in the park. There’s a great quiet creek too. I’m sure y’all have noticed I bring a lot of couples here, and it’s because there is such a variety of locations.

Let me just start by saying Katie and Trevor got married in the coolest way possible. They eloped in Italy, got married on someone’s ROOFTOP (accidentally), and then had their honeymoon. Katie told me they spent the day before their wedding exploring Italy by themselves, to have some alone time before they said their vows to each other. Katie sent Trevor a picture of the perfect view she found to say I do to each other. The next day they were married, and then they came back to Austin (in their wedding attire) to have a reception with their closest friends at Sanctuary Yoga. Thank you for having me, Katie & Trevor!

Nathan & Chelsea were SO much fun to photograph. We all got up bright and early on a Sunday morning to do a sunrise engagement session, and we all made it out alive! No one was around on this usually very busy pedestrian area, so it felt like we had the whole city to ourselves. It also happened to be the same morning of a marathon, so Cesar Chavez (a main road running parallel with downtown Austin) was blocked off, so we could cross the road freely! (See crosswalk picture below). Normally, I end up in lush forests and beautiful fields for engagement shoots, but I absolutely loved the mix of city and nature that we got near the Lamar pedestrian bridge downtown. I can't wait to shoot in this area again, and I can't wait to photograph Nathan & Chelsea's wedding next March! (Their wedding can now be viewed here.)

Sarah and Kerry got married at the gorgeous Rancho Mirando in Fischer, Texas. I actually got to photograph at this venue twice in May, and each time did not disappoint! The day was very relaxed, and it was still cool enough outside to leave all of the doors and windows open in the reception hall. The ceremony was in a gorgeous field overlooking the hill country, and when we brought the couple back out during sunset for more pictures, the sun hit everything perfectly. They also got married on May 5, so they had Cinco de Mayo themed elements throughout their wedding!

I first met Chloe at a coffeeshop called Flightpath in Austin, when she was looking for a wedding photographer. We hit it off immediately, and I absolutely loved getting to photograph her bridals too! This was my first time photographing at The Lookout, and it was such a gorgeous spot! Every detail that went into planning this wedding was perfect. They had the cutest details and decorations all throughout the venue, and the venue itself had a diverse range of spots to photograph Chloe & Garrett. Also, they had P. TERRY'S AND EAST SIDE KING CATER. Are you kidding?! Those are in my top 5 favorite restaurants in Austin! But I typically get very excited about food generally, lol!

ChaLyce & Gibson's wedding was absolutely elegant. Their wedding was a black tie affair, beginning at the Central Christian Church in Austin, and ending with the reception at the Austin Club downtown. Gibson is Samoan, so there were various events and decorations intertwined from the Samoan culture throughout the wedding and the reception. Gibson is also heavily decorated, and a lot of his groomsmen were from the military as well. (Thank you all for your service!)

Ann & Chris got married at Villa Antonia on a gorgeous day in April. It was my first time photographing this venue and it's easily one of my favorites! The architecture embodies a villa perfectly and there are so many amazing spots for photo opportunities! Chris & Ann were so sweet and even choreographed a dance together at the reception. I can't wait to photograph here again! (Thanks to Megan the Photographer for having me!)

Okay y'all, you caught me. I was so ecstatic that my client from this weekend and I stumbled upon bluebonnets at Walnut Creek. Ashley & Ryan's engagement session was the day after, so I had to bring them back! They live in Washington D.C., so coming back home to Texas in order to see bluebonnets was a must for them. The weather this weekend was completely perfect too! Since they were from out of town, I photographed their engagement session exactly 6 days before their wedding in Driftwood. This was also our first time meeting in person, so it was a fun filled week for the both of us! I'm so glad I got to spend so much time with this couple, check out their wedding post here!

I've known Trent & Mel since Mel and I were in undergrad together a few years ago. They recently made the big move to San Francisco but were in town for Christmas, so we got together to take some engagement pictures. They're having an intimate wedding with their family members this summer, and will be visiting Texas again to celebrate with their friends. I'm so excited to see what the future has in store for these two!

Jose & Jamie live in Chile, but got married at Pecan Grove, conveniently located right next to the legendary Salt Lick BBQ, so all of their friends and family could join them in celebrating their big day. It was a little cloudy, but that is honestly my favorite type of weather. After the ceremony, the sun decided to pop out for a perfect portrait session of the newlyweds. (And a shoutout to Megan the Photographer for asking me to be her second shooter for this wedding!)

Brandon and Rachel live in my hometown of Houston, Texas. They first contacted me when they saw The Inn at Wild Rose Hall's Facebook post about one of my previous weddings I photographed at their venue. I was thrilled to be able to photograph their wedding because I hadn't been to Wild Rose Hall in so long! It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding with even more perfect weather. It was also the day before my birthday, so it was a great way to start off my birthday weekend!

I loved Brandon and Rachel's florals, colors, and classic fairytale themed centerpieces. We also got the chance to feed some horses on the property, and I captured a pretty perfect moment of the whole ordeal! Guests danced the night away and made a giant line (probably the biggest I've ever photographed) of sparklers for their special exit. Pretty cool!

Cheyenne & Brian are an incredibly sweet couple living in Eugene, Oregon (and I am so jealous!) We actually didn't meet until the day of the wedding when I arrived at Living Waters on Lake Travis, an adorable venue with lake access in Austin. The venue featured a couple of small modern cottages, along with a house that Cheyenne was getting married in. This venue truly isn't like any other: the entire wedding party walked down gorgeous stone steps surrounded by trees to get to the ceremony spot. It was amazing to photograph!

Their first look was in a small room at the top of a spiral staircase, so they could have a moment to themselves and read letters to each other. The ceremony was short and sweet, and these two were so excited to finally be married. I didn't stay too far into the reception but from what I did capture, you could really tell that this bunch loved to dance! It was nonstop partying, along with delicious desserts and drinks to keep everyone fueled for the rest of the night.
